Trust, sharing experiences key to convincing vaccine hesitant to get shots, Sask. residents say
CBC
Across Saskatchewan — which continues to have some of the lowest COVID-19 vaccination rates in Canada — some people have struggled with talking to their loved ones about getting vaccines.
Those conversations are taking place in homes, schools, churches and family get-togethers.
While it can be uncomfortable, some people in Saskatchewan have been pushing others who are hesitant to get vaccinated.
CBC talked with three people who shared their stories about those conversations.
Nuha Patel, 12, is offering moral support for people getting their vaccines.
One of her friends is afraid of needles and was anxious about getting vaccinated.
"I told her I probably had the same feelings as her, but I told her that in the end it's important that you protect your family and community and your loved ones," she said.
